Takayasu arteritis, an atypical presentation as chronic kidney disease
Takayasu arteritis, also known as “pulseless disease” usually affects major vessels like aorta and its branches, pulmonary arteries, and renal arteries. Hypertension is the common presentation. Chronic kidney disease involvement is less common. Only a few chronic kidney disease cases are reported so...

description | Takayasu arteritis, also known as “pulseless disease” usually affects major vessels like aorta and its branches, pulmonary arteries, and renal arteries. Hypertension is the common presentation. Chronic kidney disease involvement is less common. Only a few chronic kidney disease cases are reported so far in Takayasu arteritis. We discuss a case of a young female who presented with accelerated hypertension with chronic kidney disease with preserved peripheral pulses. The diagnosis was confirmed by Computed tomography aortic angiogram, which showed diffuse circumferential thickening, multifocal ectasia, and aneurysmal dilatation with few saccular outpouchings of the aortic arch, descending thoracic and abdominal aorta (Type V). The patient was treated with steroids, antihypertensives, antiplatelet, and hemodialysis. |
